Now, don’t go imagining palm trees and crystal clear waters – you won’t find that in Belgium. Instead, think about a long coastline with wide, sandy beaches. The mighty North Sea can be blue-green on sunny days or grey and wild on stormy days.

You don’t tend to think of the seaside when you think of Belgium, but don’t overlook the seaside town of Nieuwpoort. t’s a stunning spot with a mixture of its lovely coast (and wonderful beach) as well as its historic centre.

It only spans 40 miles but the Belgian coast is one long line of fun resorts, nature reserves and beaches, all linked by the world’s longest tramline.
